Synopsis

The Doctrine Of Formal Discipline In The Light Of Experimental Investigation is a book written by Nellie P. Hewins. The book explores the concept of formal discipline, which refers to the idea that the study of certain subjects, such as Latin or mathematics, can improve a person's overall mental abilities and intelligence. Hewins examines the historical roots of the doctrine and its prevalence in educational theory. She also presents a critical analysis of the doctrine, arguing that there is little empirical evidence to support the idea that studying specific subjects can lead to a general improvement in cognitive abilities. The book draws on experimental research in psychology and education to provide evidence for its arguments. Hewins also discusses alternative theories of learning and intelligence, such as the idea of multiple intelligences. Overall, The Doctrine Of Formal Discipline In The Light Of Experimental Investigation provides a comprehensive and critical examination of the concept of formal discipline and its place in educational theory. It is a valuable resource for educators, psychologists, and anyone interested in the nature of learning and intelligence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
